Chapter Thirteen
Chapter 13 (This chapter is free)
When he approached the city gate and waited to check the "passing place", Cui Po saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate were brightly armored and looked Junwei, and suddenly had a funny thought: "It looks pretty good, but I don't know what happened when the war was fought?"
After passing through the test, passing through the city gate that was more than 50 meters long, the first thing that appeared in front of the three was Zhuque Street, which was more than 150 meters wide. There were neatly arranged fang areas on both sides of the spacious street. Neat locust trees were planted on the roadside in front of the fang. It was the season when flowers were blooming. When the breeze blew, Chang'an City was shrouded in a rich fragrance of locust flowers, which attracted countless bees and butterflies to fly on it, adding a picture to the noisy Zhuque Street.
At this time, Cui Po only felt that his eyes were not enough. There were bustling crowds in front of him. It was really like a carriage like a dragon. Naturally, many scholars and other figures walked by in the eight-character steps. There were also children from the rich and angry family who roared away with a large group of servants, which attracted passers-by to look at each other. There were Turkish people wearing light fur, braided hair, and black leather boots; Five Heavenly people wearing earrings and shawls; and Central Asian Hu people wearing small sleeves and fur hats with patterns embroidered with silk screens on their fur hats, without any surprise. In just a short time, Cui Po had seen people from dozens of different countries coming and going on the streets of Chang'an.
Cui Po sighed here that Chang'an is worthy of being the capital of thousands of countries. Suddenly a strange fragrance came from his nose. The next moment, a group of horse-riding ladies were passing by him. These women were all wearing beard hats and showed off their faces without any more. In this summer, most of them were wearing golden 300-fold skirts, with only tight palace clothes on their upper body, revealing large pieces of skin. There were also those lively and bold ones, and the palace clothes were made of extremely thin gauze or light dresses, almost half naked, which was really cool, and Cui Po was stunned. This kind of dress might have happened in the life he was born, and the pedestrians on the street seemed to be commonplace and did not think it was strange. It was really a tight atmosphere.
"Shiyilang, don't be so surprised. I told you that anything can happen in this Chang'an City." Of course, the one who spoke was Meng Jiao and Meng Dongye.
Along the way, Cui Po would not lose his composure because he had the previous incident, but he couldn't help but feel amazed.
Walking along Zhuque Street, soon after, I arrived at Anrenfang. Meng Jiao held the horse's reins and said, "Shiyilang, I want to stay in Jianfu Temple in this Anrenfang. I have arrived, but are you going to live there?"
"How can the Buddhist temple last for a long time?" Cui Po asked, feeling relieved the next moment. Thinking about the Chongtang Temple he was going to go to later, isn't it the same? It's just a Buddha and a Taoist path.
"Brother I am not like you. I am from a noble family. The prices in Chang'an City are high. If you don't live in a Buddhist temple, you are afraid that the exam will be unavailable. The Buddhist temple receives donations from all directions, so naturally it should open a convenient door for donors from all directions. Why can't you live? Every year, the candidates who come to Chang'an to take the exam, and there are countless people living in the temple. What's so strange about you? But you want to live there?" Meng Dongye was used to Cui Po's problems like this, and he was not surprised to explain to him.
Then, he sent Cui Po, who had just arrived in Chang'an and lived a life of people and land, to Chongtang Temple in Changshoufang. He turned around and did not forget to tell him before leaving: "Shiyilang, there is a famous scenic spot in Jianfu Temple where I live, "Xiaoyan Pagoda". If you have time, you come to me and I will take you to see it." It only made Cui Po funny and grateful, and he felt that this person was really worthy of friendship.
The royal family used Qi Fu's land, after all, it was extraordinary. Cui Po walked in with the fierce crowds. The view covered a large area and was magnificent. Especially the statue of Laojun in the main hall was actually made of gold and gold. The entire hall was filled with incense. Although there were many people burning incense, it was peaceful and solemn. Compared with the Chongxuan Temple hosted by Master Cui Po, this view of Chong Tang is really unreasonable.
He took out the letter of recommendation from his master and found a Taoist boy. After three turns, Cui Po was taken to the master of this temple, which made him feel depressed: "My Master Zhenxuan's show is too great!"
When they met, Cui Po saw that the first viewer of the Tang Dynasty was just ordinary, far from the Taoist fairy style of his master. However, between his eyes, there was a clear and clear pressure like water, which made people feel that under his gaze, there was no escape wall.
Zhenxuan took the letter. After reading it, he just asked a few questions about Ye Faji Temple Master, and then he slapped the golden bell with his hand and called in a Taoist boy, asking him to take Cui Po to Houguan to find Daoxu to settle.
Since Cui Po went to Beijing from Dingzhou, he had never been so arrogant. He couldn't help but feel angry and stopped talking. After giving a gift, he went straight with the boy. However, on the way, after the resentment gradually dissipated, he couldn't help but laugh at his villain's success. He just won some fame with a cloak of a noble family and a few plagiarized poems. Now he is so unbearable that he can't stand the slightest bit of contempt. This person's changes are really hard to say!
This view was very vast. After walking for nearly two incense sticks, I came to the back view. When I saw Daoxu, I was just a 20-year-old Taoist priest. What was even more surprising was that this Taoist priest actually had a flying and jumping temperament. After seeing Cui Po for the first time, he looked familiar and said jokingly, Cui Po felt that this person looked like everything, but the only thing was that he did not look like a Taoist priest.
After Cui Po saw the house he prepared for him, all the resentment in his heart had dissipated. In this downtown Chang'an where there was a lot of money, he could live alone in a small courtyard with a bedroom, study, and even a kitchen. What else could he complain about? Even the silence and outspoken saying that this was for Ye Faji when he came to Chang'an, not for him, and it would not affect Cui Po's mood gradually getting better.
After everything was settled, Cui Po was about to ask where to eat, but he saw that the Tao that he could not find when he was just helping, and said with a charming smile: "Uncle Master, you first came to Chang'an today, so I have been very busy. I'm spared this meeting gift. How about the uncle of Master Master, I'll ask me to drink a few cups of Sanli wine in Changlefang?"
Hearing Daoxue called his uncle, Cui Po was already surprised. When he saw him calling his uncle, he wanted to blackmail him. What was even more excessive was that the content of the blackmail was actually going to drink, and Cui Po was simply going to be apologized for it.
After staying for a while, Cui Po finally asked unbearable: "That... Daoxu junior, are you really a Taoist priest?"
